Sometime early this morning both the strabilized platform and the profiler went down.The platform is still down. Actually the up rights are bolted on.We had saltwater in the gyros so it may well be history. The profiler is back up and running as of 14z approx. There was no power out so going through the cables found a point where we had a bad pin. Cut the connector off and by passed it and hard wireed power up the platform.After finding this went over other cables and found lots of saltwater/air damage. I have sprayed most connections as best as possible with wd 40.Seas are rough.

There was a problem terminating the last sounding.  I clicked 'Stop
channel 1', then the dialog popped up and I clicked 'Yes - End it now.'
The dialog was dismissed, and then nothing happened.  I expected to see
the dialog window for entering final comments and such, but that never
appeared.  I could still click tabs in the display, such as to see the
GPS and receiver displays, but the 'Stop channel 1' button was disabled.
Likewise clicking the 'Quit soundings' button had no effect.  I used to
Ctl-Alt-Del to examine the task list.  GAUS (2.3.4).exe was listed as using
99% of the CPU, so I chose 'end task' to end it.  No final D file was produced.
I have backups of the intermediate files on the Linux workstation, and I
assume they are still on the profiler PC, too.

I had left the laptop for a little while to let it keep recording up above
100 mb.  When I returned, it was only receiving signals from the sonde every
10-15 seconds, so that's when I tried to terminate it.
